I think The Dead Zone is a pretty good movie.

This movie has a mysterious story. A man ends up in a coma after a serious accident. After 5 years, he awakens and can predict the future of people. A very interesting story. Especially towards the end when the man can prevent a kind of Hitler-like figure from coming to power is very interesting. The ending of this movie is quite exciting.

The acting in this movie is good. I especially liked Christopher Walken in this film. He portrays a mysterious person who sometimes even comes across as a bit scary. Still, Walken manages to make Johnny a sympathetic character. The rest of the cast clearly does less than Walken, but everyone acts properly.

The film is a bit long-winded at times, but it could have been a bit more fast-paced. The music comes from Michael Kamen. For this film he comes up with very good dark music. It certainly makes the film more mysterious.

All in all, a pretty good movie. But this is not a real topper. As mentioned, the pace is a bit too slow and some parts of the film are also a bit boring, but this is still a decent film.

3.5 stars for this movie.
